- A prosperous looking fellow is sauntering down the street when he meets a sandwich man, whom he immediately recognizes as an old college chum that he has not seen in years. After stopping to talk over old times, the more fortunate of the two invites the other to his home, and we see the ill-assorted pair as they make their way to the beautifully appointed mansion in a fashionable quarter of the town. Arriving at the place the sandwich man is introduced to his chum's wife and mother-in-law, and from that moment on there seems to be trouble in the air. The unfortunate fellow's early training has evidently been neglected, and it is extremely funny to see some of the outlandish things he does in polite society. In the first place he becomes very friendly with the old lady, but she, good creature, overlooks his familiarity, although horrified beyond measure. They then show him to the bath room, where he is to freshen up in order to appear a little respectable at dinner. He turns on the water and floods the place and smears the soap all over everything, then going into the bedroom to comb his hair he leaves the room in a terribly upset condition. Presently he saunters down to dinner, and his conduct at the table horrifies his hosts, for he devours everything in sight and does not leave a particle for anyone else. After dinner he goes out into the chicken coop and makes a raid on the hens' nests, smashing all the eggs. By this time his hosts' patience has become exhausted, and the affair reaches a climax when he goes upstairs and pours water out on the heads of the ladies who are seated on the lawn. His chum grabs him and kicks him out of the place and the family, glad to be rid of such an unmannerly guest, return to their quiet mode of living, while the sandwich man goes back to take up his former occupation.—Moving Picture World synopsis
